When Mindy thought about it, her face turned even paler.
The next morning, Ada went downstairs and saw Mindy sitting in the same position. She could not help but frown.
âMom, were you awake the whole night?â
Mindy looked at her and spoke through gritted teeth, âDo you think Iâll be able to sleep after youâve done such an embarrassing thing?â
Adaâs face turned white, and she stared at Mindy in disbelief.
âMom, even you think that I plagiarized Silviaâs work?â
âWhat else could it be? The court has decided!â
Adaâs eyes immediately turned red, and she spoke pitifully, âSilvia bribed someone in the courthouse. Otherwise, Perficient wouldnât have lost.
Besides, Neil likes her now, and he stands by her unconditionally. If I go against her, heâll take Perficient back...â
Mindy was suspicious. âIs Silvia capable of doing that?â
âSheâs not, but Neil is.â
Mindy contemplated in silence, but she still found it hard to believe.
âYouâve been with Neil before. Would he really go against you because of Silvia?â
Ada forced a few tears and sobbed. âI donât know what sheâs told him, but Neilâs been very cold toward me. I canât even see him. Heâs changed his mind, and Iâve just been in denial.â
Mindy was reminded of Idris, and she was overcome with anger.
âMen are trash!â
Ada was momentarily stunned. Should Mindy not side with her and criticize Silvia?
âMom, now that Iâm engaged to Liam, nothing is going to happen between me and Neil. I just want to manage Perficient well. I donât want to fight with Silvia anymore.â
Mindy lowered her gaze. After a few seconds, she slowly said, âThatâs good. Now that Neil likes her, itâs not wise to go against her. Weâll have a chance to exact our revenge once Neil is sick of her.â
Ada was extremely shocked by her response. Mindy hated Silvia. Whenever her name came up, Mindy would cuss and insult her. Why was she so calm this time?
âMom, did... something happen to you recently? I know youâve been trying to reach me over the past few days. Iâve just been so busy that I havenât been able to return your calls...â
Mindy sighed. âItâs nothing. You should take care of work. Iâll deal with this myself.â
Ada immediately knelt down before her and held her hand. âWhatâs going on? If you donât tell me, Iâll be even more worried.â
Mindy lowered her head and saw Adaâs concerning gaze. She finally found an outlet for her pent-up sadness and pain. At that moment, she sobbed.
âYour dadâs having an affair...â
On Monday morning, Silvia saw Rita getting out of a car just as she reached MY Corporationâs entrance.
There was a hint of surprise in her eyes. âRita, arenât you on a vacation?â
Rita was no longer as confused and dispirited as she was when the incident first happened. She walked over with a smile on her face. âI immediately came back when I learned that Perficient lost the lawsuit. Ms. Pond, thank you for finding the evidence and proving my innocence.â
Silvia smiled gently. âItâs my responsibility. Youâre an employee of MY Corporation. Iâm protecting the companyâs interest by protecting your interest.â
Rita nodded. âMy father wants to treat you to a meal as thanks. When are you free?â
âHe doesnât have to do that. Please let Mr. Williams know that I should be the one thanking him. Since youâre back, does it mean that youâre ready to work on next seasonâs designs?â
Rita laughed when she heard this. âMs. Pond, I still have three days of paid leave.â
âYou can always cut it short.â
Rita remained quiet for a moment before she said, âI can get back to work earlier, but I need someone on my team.â
Silvia cocked an eyebrow in curiosity.
âWho?â
